Thermite vs STEEL = HOTTER THAN LAVA ๐จAdded:
Whoosh. This is thermite. It is not an explosive. It's a reflex. Steel and aluminum. It burns at 2 and 1/2 thousand degrees. Hot as a volcano. Hotter than molten iron. Here is how we weld [music] the railroad tracks. Out in the middle of nowhere. No power, no machinery. It's chemistry. It makes its own molten iron and welds the rails together. It removes oxygen from rust. It's radiating [music] so much heat. Melts steel plate. Water won't do it. Sand won't stop it. Burns until it runs out of fuel. That's why it's used for demolition. Welding, the science.
